During his career, he has been involved with all aspects of the early-stage investment market, both as an entrepreneur and investor.

After the Fizzback exit, Chris joined Angels Den and set up and managed their Tech, FinTech and InsurTech Clubs where he raised investment for 110+ early-stage businesses over 6 ½ years.
